“Deadpool” far and away the top movie at the box office this weekend

$135 Million in North America, and an estimated $260 million world wide, that’s the biggest “R” rated weekend opening, ever.

It knocks off “The Matrix Reloaded,” which opened to $91.8 million in May of 2003. It even beats Star Wars, however, “The Force Awakens” made $50 million on a Thursday opening day, which is not included in official weekend numbers.

It also is the best opening ever for a movie in the month of February, beating last year’s record-setting $85.2 million opening of “50 Shades Of Grey”

The flick features a fictional character named Deadpool, appearing in Marvel Comics. He is a disfigured mercenary with the superhuman ability of an accelerated healing factor. Coincidentally, in a 2004 edition of the comic ‘Cable & Deadpool’, he refers to his own scarred appearance as “Ryan Reynolds crossed with a Shar-Pei”

Other movies that opened this weekend included Rebel Wilson’s “How To Be Single” and Ben Stiller’s “Zoolander 2″, however their numbers were nowhere near the number one movie.

Here are the estimated numbers for North America, the weekend of February 12th:
